Second man arrested: policePolice have just released another statement. They say a second man has been arrested. Here’s their statement in full:

Police have saturated the CBD area following an incident where a car has collided with a number of pedestrians on Flinders Street.The incident occurred when the vehicle struck a number of pedestrians in front of Flinders Street Station just after 4.30pm.The driver of the vehicle and a second man have been arrested and are in police custody.A number of people were treated at the scene for a range of injuries and have been transported to hospital.A crime scene has been established and all vehicular and pedestrian traffic are advised to avoid the area.

ETA: Sounds intentional even though the headline makes it sound like "an accident".

Another witness, David, told ABC radio:

I heard the engine rev and I heard the first thump, and I turned around ... I just saw it [the vehicle] ploughing through pedestrians as everyone was crossing the road, and then crashing into the tram stop.

People do all kinds of crazy shit having mental issues, but when you mow people down on the sidewalk, as suggested in an ISIS magazine two years ago, I call him a terrorist WITH mental and drug problems. They need to call it like it is and STOP with justifying the motive.

The other man arrested while filming it all had a bag of knives with him.

The average IQ for Afghanistan 84 (Retarded level).. no doubt MOST people from Afghanistan would qualify as "mentally challenged" in a proper civilized country. They just have to find an Australian bleeding heart Social Worker, and a government welfare scam... and they are set up for life.And of course if 84 is the average... there are likely many who are less... in sub-human moron category.Throw in drug use.. and you have a terrorist attack waiting to happen.

THAT is part of the problem... these imbeciles are prone to "radicalization"... as a group.

WHY import them into civilized countries?

Just the very nature of EVERY Terrorist attack shows the perps to be insane... so what?

ALL radicalized Islamic Terrorists have "Mental Issues"
